Eisenhower's farewell address also contains warnings about the military industrial complex. Sadly, his warnings have not been heeded and the worst case scenario has come to pass.
I totally agree. As I have gotten older, I have come to one unescapable conclusion. Humanity as currently constructed is not fit for long time survival. It is only a matter of time before we destroy ourselves. On the bright side, the Universe most likely has not put all of its eggs in one basket.
I think we do ourselves a great dis-service when we fail to realize the US was founded and existed in part on a proto-fascist system.
Sorry Steve, politicians won't save us. They have already failed us. Only armed patriots can restore the republic now.
US dominance in the financial world is coming to an end. The US dollar is down 10 pct this year alone and gold has skyrocketed as central banks around the world dump dollars and stock up on gold. America is the largest debtor nation in world history. The USA is going to reap what it has sown.
I do agree Trump is mad. However, IMO he is a symptom not necessarily the cause of our ills. The average American is degenerate and none too smart unfortunately. Donald Trump does not come to power in a healthy republic where voters are educated and sane. Also, we have our fair share of fascists.
Of course it is. Unrestrained capitalism is brutal. It is like nature. However, too much unnecessary regulation stifles growth and innovation. There should be additional taxes on large corporations that pay their CEOs over a certain percentage more than the average worker at that firm.
This document was later taken down from the DOJ site.
President Trump while performing oral sex. The friend was allegedly hit in the face after she laughed about biting President Trump. The friend said she was also abused by Epstein.
Complaint Summary

Trump approximately 35 years ago in NJ. The friend

old when this occurred, and the friend allegedly bit
President Trump...
Governor- this is the US Civil War II. The hot phase has begun. How long will we sit by and pretend that the old rules still apply? No fascist government has ever peacefully ceded power. They are already in the process of rigging the 2026t elections.

The second US Civil War has already begun. We have already seen the beginning of a 'hot phase' with the ICE murders. The Trump regime will attempt to rig the elections and we will have to choose if our comfort is worth living under tyranny. I hope we choose to fight.

Unfortunately,the USA is just returning to historical norms. The US has always had problems with racism and white supremacy and it was openly accepted prior to the 1960s. We thought we had made progress, but it is obvious that white America is looking for someone to blame for their economic problems
If you won't fight, you will be conquered. Where are the anti-Trump militias? I can't find any. Do you really believe the rule of law will hold? It has already fallen. We now have a sham republic. Fight or serve- those are your choices.
Do you believe this can be stopped without a fight? I don't.
I am sorry folks. If you believe that we will not need to fight to stop this, then you are being naive. It is long past time for the formation of anti-MAGA armed forces. The US will soon be in a debt and currency crisis. If we don't have the means to resist, we will be crushed.
Reagan called the Soviet Union and evil empire. It appears that the USA is following them first into criminal invasions and next into insolvency and dissolution. We look like the Roman Empire with modern weapons. We even have our own insane emperor. Nero would have been proud of Donald Trump.
I really hope Democrats realize why we have Trump in the first place.We can make complicated arguments on this subject but to me it boils down to inflationary government deficits. The American dream is being buried under piles of cheap money and if we do not address this the next Trump will be worse
Donald Trump as Dorian Gray.

All true and these are all signs that civilization on a planetary scale is at risk. Even Grok agrees that there is a significant risk of societal collapse by 2100.

The US has become an evil nation. Only a nation who has embraced darkness would let a leader do these kinds of things.
Good piece. IMO, humanity is probably going to fail big time and I don't believe it will be all that long into the future. The only thing holding the status quo is nuclear weapons. How long will it be before a man or an AI believes it can change the status quo or hold it by using these weapons?
The republic has ended Robert. The regime openly disobeys the law and there is nothing the Congress or the Courts can do about it. Things appear to move quickly, but in reality, the republic has been rotting for decades.
Trump has successfully exposed the weakness in all republics- criminality in the executive branch. The regime has failed to comply with the Epstein law, and has broken many other laws. There is no way for Congress or the courts to compel the regime. Welcome to the Age of Empire.
The USA is becoming one the most dangerous nations on earth. The country is broke and being out competed by China. We would lose a long conventional war with the Chinese. IMO, the MAGA walnuts would threaten or use nuclear weapons. Nuclear weapons are the only thing keeping the status quo.
This is a consequence of corruption. Almost any economic system can work, but in the end, they all fail due to corruption. In our case, we have crony capitalism which in many aspects is unrestrained. The rich buy the political system and then write the laws to benefit themselves.
Guys, play it smart. You don't have to like MTG. You don't have to like what he has said and done. However, we can use her to further rupture the MAGA coalition. We should be boosting her, not bashing her now. She is doing more damage to Trump than anyone. These cults collapse from within.
There are sources in the Trump administration saying that Charlie Kirk is going on the affordability tour with Trump. Trump will be telling his followers things could always be worse and he will tell them to stop complaining about affordability in memory of Charlie.
